:01:27. > :01:31.two months away. Lots has been going on today. We can show you some of
:01:32. > :01:36.the pictures. Here you can see the far right candidate Marine Le Pen,
:01:37. > :01:40.she has been talking about foreign policy. The centralist, Emmanuel
:01:41. > :01:52.Macron, has picked up the support of France while -- Francois Bayroux.
:01:53. > :02:00.The police have been firing tear gas at students who have been protesting
:02:01. > :02:07.against a member of the police force who raped a student. There have been
:02:08. > :02:12.suggestions that Marine Le Pen will come top of the first round. I asked
:02:13. > :02:14.James Reynolds for more about Marine Le Pen's
:02:15. > :02:21.she has been talking about foreign policy. We know a lot of her
:02:22. > :02:26.positions. She would like an alliance with Russia's president.
:02:27. > :02:34.She wants France to leave Nato. She wants to hold a reference Mick -- a
:02:35. > :02:38.referendum about France's membership of the EU. And she also wants to
:02:39. > :02:44.talk about deporting criminals. We know a lot of her positions. She's
:02:45. > :02:47.faced problems recently in her campaign. The anti-corruption police
:02:48. > :02:50.have placed under formal investigation one of her senior
:02:51. > :03:03.aides. Investigating whether Ron not that aid did a job -- whether or not
:03:04. > :03:06.that aide did a job for Marine Le Pen. The anti-corruption police are
:03:07. > :03:10.looking at the inner circle which may provide a lot of attention in
:03:11. > :03:14.the coming weeks. That is the far right candidate. If we look at
:03:15. > :03:19.Emmanuel Macron, who is more centrist, what is going on with him
:03:20. > :03:24.and his prospects? He's a centrist, running as a centrist and outsider.
:03:25. > :03:30.In the last 24 hours he's picked up the endorsement of a man who knows
:03:31. > :03:33.exactly what that is like. Francois Bayroux Ran as an outsider and
:03:34. > :03:37.centrist in the last three presidential elections. Didn't win
:03:38. > :03:41.any of them, but picked up significant small portions of the
:03:42. > :03:45.vote. He has decided to endorse Emmanuel Macron. That is important
:03:46. > :03:49.in the short run because it adds some weight and substance to his
:03:50. > :03:53.campaign. He says he has a French political heavyweight with him, he
:03:54. > :03:57.can flush out some of his positions. Emmanuel Macron's immediate aim is
:03:58. > :04:01.to get through to the run-off in May. He and the other mainstream
:04:02. > :04:04.candidates are betting on this, if one of them can get through then all
:04:05. > :04:10.of the other parties will support that person against Marine Le Pen.
:04:11. > :04:15.That is what has happened in the past in France. But, of course, the
:04:16. > :04:18.past may not be prelude to the future. Why has there been so much
:04:19. > :04:23.anger visible on the streets of Paris where you are today? These
:04:24. > :04:29.high school students, several hundreds of them, blocked the
:04:30. > :04:34.streets. They were campaigning in solidarity with a 22-year-old man
:04:35. > :04:39.who was the subject of a brutal attack by a police officer. Tear gas
:04:40. > :04:45.was used. This demonstration illustrates a lot of the underlying
:04:46. > :04:47.bad relations between sectors of the young population, including
:04:48. > :04:54.students, and the French state represented by the police. Let's
:04:55. > :04:56.take you out to the French countryside for a different
:04:57. > :05:01.perspective. Lucy Williamson has been talking to voters in Burgundy.

:06:42. > :06:44.of turning inwards, closing the Borders, protectionism, limiting the
:06:45. > :06:54.movement of people. You do not see very many FN voters. Rural votes are
:06:55. > :06:59.a key battle ground in the selection, especially in right-wing
:07:00. > :07:03.areas like this. A crisis in French farming dwindling public services
:07:04. > :07:10.and, now, a financial scandal in the centre-right Republicans party is

:09:55. > :09:58.his party. He is close to the people. I actually like him. But he
:09:59. > :10:03.still needs to prove he can lead to Germany the way Angela has. And
:10:04. > :10:07.there will be the better chance. She has more experience. I would be
:10:08. > :10:12.happy if Martin Schulz went into coalition with her, they could bring
:10:13. > :10:16.Europe forward together. Critics say Martin Schulz is more Brussels than
:10:17. > :10:21.Berlin, but questions over his EU expenses and conduct don't seem to
:10:22. > :10:30.have damaged his shot at Germany's top job. In his hometown he is known

:13:34. > :13:38.Marshall, a man who worked in railway transport for more than 25

:13:45. > :13:50.huge developments, especially in the car industry, particularly Land
:13:51. > :13:54.Rover Jaguar. This will help continue progress in access. It'll
:13:55. > :13:56.help people get to places of work more quickly. And with the speed
:13:57. > :14:01.more people will travel because speed always attracts. The trains
:14:02. > :14:07.are expected to be a lot quicker with speeds of up to 225 mph. The
:14:08. > :14:15.entire journey time will be cut by more than 30 minutes. The line will
:14:16. > :14:21.be complete by 2026. This pathway, which used to be a railway track,
:14:22. > :14:24.will be replaced by the HS2 line. Now the plans have been given the
:14:25. > :14:31.go-ahead construction will begin in the spring. The centreline of the
:14:32. > :14:35.railway is approximately 160 metres from our boundary fence... But many
:14:36. > :14:41.here are furious. And those who the line from happening are now changing
:14:42. > :14:45.their focus. Mike Phillips 160 metres from where the new railway
:14:46. > :14:50.track will be. From our point of view, the only thing we can... The
:14:51. > :14:56.only two things we can campaign for, without feeling that we will be
:14:57. > :15:02.anyway successful, is mitigation, some form or measure that will
:15:03. > :15:06.reduce the potential noise levels, and also the seven years of
:15:07. > :15:09.inconvenience while they are building it. The cost of the entire
:15:10. > :15:14.project, including phase two, will be ?56 billion. For those who've
:15:15. > :15:16.been against this from the outset today's news will be difficult to
:15:17. > :15:41.digests. Brake forces have taken Mosul import
:15:42. > :15:47.from the group that calls itself Islamic State. This is a important

:16:34. > :16:43.Immigration. I am from a Muslim country. Who will save me here?
:16:44. > :16:47.Things got heated. I asked him, not you, so shut your whole. The most
:16:48. > :16:57.contentious issue was health care. Don't you dare give me a big
:16:58. > :17:03.politician answer. If it wasn't for Obamacare, we couldn't afford
:17:04. > :17:14.insurance. I've got a present for you if you wanted. It's called
:17:15. > :17:22.heartburn that medicine. We met Chris at his pig farm in Iowa. It's
:17:23. > :17:26.not just from supporters that I disillusioned with the political
:17:27. > :17:29.class. This man voted for Hillary Clinton. People are waking up.
:17:30. > :17:37.That's the only thing you can say positively about President Trump.
:17:38. > :17:46.People are waking up. We are tired of being screwed. At a later event,
:17:47. > :17:53.the pressure was still on. It is time to put country over party. That
:17:54. > :17:57.is a demand hurt as town halls across America. Seems like there is
:17:58. > :18:01.reminiscent of the tea party in the early days of the Obama
:18:02. > :18:08.administration. Conservatives packed out town halls to put pressure on
:18:09. > :18:11.their congressmen and women to put pressure on the Obama
:18:12. > :18:16.administration. How will you take this back the President Trump? I
:18:17. > :18:21.will take this back to my colleagues. I don't think you should
:18:22. > :18:26.see this as challenging trump, you should see this is me doing my job
:18:27. > :18:29.and the president doing his job. The job is challenging and it's about
:18:30. > :18:37.balancing the agenda of President Trump with the photos that keep him
:18:38. > :18:42.and -- in office. Let's go back to the breaking news
:18:43. > :18:45.in sport. Claudio Ranieri has been sacked as the manager of Leicester
:18:46. > :18:50.City. He led the team just nine months ago to the Premier League
:18:51. > :18:56.title, the club's greatest title in its history. Are you finding any
:18:57. > :19:01.more about how the sacking and folded?
:19:02. > :19:07.Well, there was a statement today after vestiges of the last note in
:19:08. > :19:14.the Champions League. They played quite well in the second half with
:19:15. > :19:19.an away goal from Jamie Vardy. This is a stark reminder that there is no
:19:20. > :19:26.sentiment in football. Fairy tales don't exist in football. Forget
:19:27. > :19:32.Leicester's Premier League title. The harsh reality is that in the
:19:33. > :19:39.Premier League and the spectre of relegation comes to bite. They are
:19:40. > :19:43.just one place away from the relegation zone and the worst record
:19:44. > :19:47.of any of the 92 Premier League clubs in England this season. It's
:19:48. > :19:52.harsh and you have to remember that for Claudio Ranieri, he stayed loyal
:19:53. > :19:57.to Leicester when he had a chance to manage his national team, Italy. He
:19:58. > :20:04.stayed loyal but it hasn't worked out for them in the follow-up season
:20:05. > :20:12.after the honeymoon. So, Mike, you were saying that life is brittle.
:20:13. > :20:15.Who is in light replacing? Of course, the difficult thing is that
:20:16. > :20:23.they cannot sign any new players because the transfer window is gone.
:20:24. > :20:27.Maybe another Italian, the former Manchester city manager, he took
:20:28. > :20:32.city to the title but was then sacked as they went to the FA Cup
:20:33. > :20:39.title. Would she have the same relationship with the players? There
:20:40. > :20:46.was that special bond that got them to that incredible achievement,
:20:47. > :20:55.5000-1 to winning the title. Can any other manager have that
:20:56. > :21:03.relationship? Well, Mancini is one name that is in the frame. Whoever
:21:04. > :21:15.takes over, but have one hell of a job filling Claudio Ranieri's quits.
:21:16. > :21:18.We will move onto boxing now. Americana is going to be fighting
:21:19. > :21:28.someone. The player on the left appears to be
:21:29. > :21:36.listed. Retweeted that his team appears to be in negotiations with
:21:37. > :21:40.Amir Khan over the next fight. How about this for everything? A group
:21:41. > :21:44.of Japanese men have been celebrating their boldness with a
:21:45. > :21:51.unique game of tag of four. Members of this club used suction caps to
:21:52. > :21:58.attach the rocks their heads. The first to pull of the other's couple
:21:59. > :22:02.of wins. The idea is to view boldness in a positive manner and to
:22:03. > :22:10.brighten the world with our shiny heads. Another bright story, we know
:22:11. > :22:15.that eating the fruit and veg is good for us but the latest research
:22:16. > :22:22.says that we might need to eat as many as ten portions a day. They say
:22:23. > :22:27.that this study shows eating so many greens and reds and oranges could
:22:28. > :22:33.prevent as many as 7.8 million premature deaths each year. I asked
:22:34. > :22:42.our health editor if this goal is realistic. I spoke to a couple of
:22:43. > :22:45.people today. You can see my tweet on that board. I found two be
:22:46. > :22:50.provided. One was a vegan and one wasn't. The only way you can do it
:22:51. > :22:55.is by thinking about fruit and veg every meal of every day. Their
:22:56. > :23:03.philosophy is that they have salad vegetables with every meal. People
:23:04. > :23:09.tend to plan e-mail a friend put it. Maybe you just need to have this big
:23:10. > :23:12.shift in focus. One of the interesting things is that it does
:23:13. > :23:16.not dismiss the five day that people have been talking about, this shows
:23:17. > :23:24.that if you go beyond five day, is even more benefits to be had. How do
:23:25. > :23:31.we get there? I don't. One of the problems is that as a child you are
:23:32. > :23:36.not taught how to cook and how to deal with fresh food. That is one of
:23:37. > :23:39.the big problems. I must apologise to one of my old university friends,
:23:40. > :23:47.he did just how make instant noodles. -- he did not know how to
:23:48. > :23:50.make instant noodles. There is a lack of education about how to
:23:51. > :23:54.properly prepare and cook food. There is an increasing reliance on
:23:55. > :24:01.processed food. That is seen as a meal. There is a push in many
:24:02. > :24:06.countries to reverse that and get more fresh fruit and veg into school
:24:07. > :24:10.meals and get kids to learn how to get early. If you intervene early,
:24:11. > :24:15.maybe that will last a listing. It must become a habit and become
